he trusts no one. To throw everyone off the scent of his search for the truth of the ghost's statement that his uncle killed his father, he decides to act mad. Not necessarily a clever strategy, but certainly an entertaining one.

What is Hamlet's behavior like during the mousetrap scene act 3 scene 2 94-265?

His behavior is manic and outrageous. He plunks himself down next to Ophelia, and talks to her in the most coarse and obscene way. He calls out to his mother, yells at the actors "Is this a prologue or the posy of a ring?", and keeps up such a running commentary that Ophelia says tartly, "You are as good as a chorus, my lord." If he did not reveal himself in the following scene we might wonder whether Claudius was offended by the picture of his murder of Hamlet Senior or offended by Hamlet's behavior.


Where does Hamlet's father lure Hamlet to finally speak to him?

Hamlet's father dies (was murdered) before the play begins so in the first act first scene he appears as a ghost. The ghost appears on the battlements of the castles and is first seen by the sentries up there. It is these men that inform Hamlet of the appearance of his father's ghost.


Does Ophelia tell her father something about Hamlet?

Yes, she tells him (somewhat reluctantly) that Hamlet has "made tenders of his affection" to her in Act 1 Scene 3. In Act 2 scene 1 she tells him that Hamlet has appeared in her bedroom half undressed and has stared at her very intently in a weird way.
